1.02. Chinese internet structure

  • Internet presence in China is the best way to be seen provided it has access to all three major networks;
    • China Telecom
    • China Unicom (merge with China Netcom)
    • China Mobile

This option is only available if you have a Chinese company and ICP certification.

Many Chinese companies offer platform services in China, e.g. TMall Global, these services are hosted in Hong Kong with listing links on their Chinese platforms. In TMall Global example, the list is call “Trading without borders”

  • Only use a Hong Kong based internet presence if it has the connection directly to mainland China and to Europe through the Middle East.
  • Use Japan and Taiwan to host internet presence to reduce costs. Useful for large data volumes.
  • Singapore – for access to South Asia market. This is a poor option for China, as your internet traffic will often travel through Taiwan or Japan before entering China. Singapore does not have a direct link to mainland China.
